Add shortcuts to AODocs files or folders in Drive

You can use the standard Google Drive feature Add shortcut to Drive to add items managed by AODocs to your browsing tree under My Drive. This includes any AODocs libraries, folders, and documents you can access.

Notes: You can add:
–  subfolders in Team Folders or Secured Folders only
–  any files managed by AODocs to My Drive, regardless of the type of library

Important: For Team Folders or Secured Folders, administrators can automatically add a shortcut of a whole library to the My Drive of all users. In this case, end users can’t remove the library from their My Drive, but they can organize the library in their My Drive.
